Globalstar Data Services provide 9.6 Kbp speeds, using the reliability of satellite communications via two methods:
1) Direct Internet Access (#777): Enables you to connect to the Internet and web-based email systems*. Globalstar acts as the Internet Service Provider (ISP) allowing you to browse web sites and send and receive e-mails.
2) Direct Dial-Up Access: Allows you to connect to private networks, which may not be accessible via the Internet, by simply dialing the 11-digit number you want to connect to. Direct Dial-up also allows access to your existing ISP over their standard dial up access for web browsing or access to your mail on their mail server.
Currently Direct Internet Access is only available in Canada, United States, Caribbean, Argentina and Brazil.
